Using API keys

When you do not login directly into the visual layer of CDP Data Visualization, you must obtain an API key and implement it when using Data APIs.

Follow the instructions shown in Creating new API keys.

After obtaining an API Key, you can use it to authenticate the user to access the dataset, and invoke the data layer of CDP Data Visualization at the following endpoint:
```
http(s)://server:port/arc/api/data
```
Proceed with using the Data API interface.
For more information, see Example of Data API usage.
